Assuming you are on linux, use lsblk or cat /proc/partitions to identify the device name of your card. Then use this device name in the xzcat jessie.dd.xz. I hope this helps.

Re: debian jessie image for N900

Close enough :-) iwconfig wlan0 power off should do it.


In the console, with the arch keymap, you can use shift+blue+\.
